On June 25, 2009, Steph Curry had a handshake he'll never forget.
The Warriors drafted the future two-time MVP with the No. 7 overall in the 2009 NBA Draft, when Curry stepped up to the Radio City Music Hall stage, donning a hat emblazoned with Golden State's logo for the first time. After hugging his father, 16-year NBA veteran Dell Curry, Steph Curry walked to shake hands with the man who had just read his name: Then-NBA commissioner David Stern.
Stern died Wednesday at the age of 77 as a result of a brain hemorrhage he suffered last month, and Curry paid tribute to the former commissioner hours after his passing.
